We use 3 layouts on one computer - Bel, Svk, USA. What I miss is the possibility to set default one in user preferences and have gnome- session set it upon start, regardless of what comes from gdm. The most apparent issue is that upon login, the keyboard-indicator does not match the actual layout used - shows the first from user preferences, but applied is the layout that arrived from gdm. And as reported in this bug, with passwordless login there is no way to set it.

The problem is that each time I log in, I have to go back to System->Preferences->Keyboard:Layout to delete "USA Alternative international (former us_intl)". No matter how many times I delete this layout, it always returns. And even if this layout is not selected, it has the peculiar effect of screwing up my other keyboard layouts. In particular, it screws up "USA International (AltGr dead keys)" so that I can't type most Extended Latin-type characters. I'm using 9.10 Gnome-based Ubuntu. The problem arose only after the last upgrade I also have selected a few layout options: Alt and meta are on alt keys Swap Ctrl and CapsLock Key(s) to change layout; menu Key to choose 3rd level: right alt The second keyboard that I am using is "Bulgarian Traditional Phonetic" I'm only using menu options and not playing around with xmodmap or anything similar. I'm using a Dell laptop.
